Guest Speaker

Bishop Kyle Searcy Bio

Kyle Searcy has a passion for developing a new generation of leaders. He is a recognized and highly respected leader, bishop, prayer warrior, teacher, and author. He serves as Senior Pastor of the thriving, multi-racial, multi-generational, international ministry, Fresh Anointing House of Worship, located in Montgomery, Alabama and Norcross, GA. Since 1993, Kyle has watched Fresh Anointing grow tremendously. The vision for the church is to Exalt the Lord, Extend the Kingdom, and Empower the People. Kyle serves as the Overseer of Fresh Oil Fellowship of Churches International and nine other Fresh Anointing House of Worship churches in the United States: Meridian, MS; Selma, AL; Wetumpka, AL; Birmingham, AL; Augusta, GA; Columbus, GA; Oswego, IL; Nashville, TN; and Crestview, FL. He is the Overseer for over 230 international churches on the continent of Africa, including Liberia, Nigeria, and Ghana. Kyle’s personal relationship and public ministry are marked by a very uncommon fervency and passion for Jesus Christ. His walk with Jesus is characterized by extraordinary intimacy, extravagant worship, fasting and prayer, holiness, righteousness, and a passionate pursuit of our Father and His righteousness. As a leader, Kyle imparts his wisdom to everyone he speaks to - encouraging and motivating them to be better than their best. His desire for people is that they surpass their own imaginations and soar like eagles in every aspect of life. Kyle is also an author who writes on various subjects such as wisdom, leadership, vision, and planning. These topics are covered in several books written by him including Write the Vision: Developing a Life Plan, which provides practical tools to developing a vision and a life plan; What Ladder Are You Going to Climb, which is geared toward youth and young adults to guide them in achieving their goals; and his latest book, The Secrets of Biblical Wisdom, which shares the secrets to unlocking the power of wisdom, guiding believers along the path of acquiring and harnessing spiritual wisdom. Through personal examples, stories, Scriptures, and biblical examples, he shows how possessing wisdom produces, among other things, favor, special skills, and wealth. Kyle’s books have produced countless stories of how lives have been impacted and changed, all for the glory of God. In 2008, Kyle partnered with Lou Engle to bring The Call prayer movement to Montgomery. He has appeared on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) locally as a host and guest. He also appeared internationally on TBN’s Praise The Lord program with hosts Ben Kinchlow, Clifton Davis, Ron Carpenter, and Dwight Thompson. Kyle is a member of the Charisma Ministry Today Editorial Board as well as the International Apostolic Council (IAC). IAC is composed of the founding fathers of the International Communion of Evangelical Churches (ICEC) led by First Presiding Bishop Harry Jackson Jr. As well as being a skilled writer and well sought after speaker, he is husband to the beautiful and anointed, Kemi Searcy. Pastor Kemi, a native of Ghana, West Africa, is a dynamic woman of God in her own right. She complements Kyle’s ministry with an international flavor along with an uncommon passion for prayer and intimacy with Jesus. They are the blessed parents of four beautiful children. They have two daughters, Biola Searcy-Hollis and Funmi; two sons, Paul and Christopher; and two grandchildren, Nathan and Abigail.

William Chapel AME Zion Church

Pastor

Reverend B.D. McKenzie II Bio

His assignment is to proclaim and perpetuate the truth. “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 Reverend B. D. McKenzie II is a man, called by God, who travels throughout this nation serving as an oracle of God by ministering as the Spirit of the Lord leads him. Reverend McKenzie II is married to the truly beautiful Michelle D. McKenzie, who is powerful in her own right.

When she ministers

through music the presence of the Lord is ushered in. They are the proud parents of three lovely, young princesses, Michaela Danielle McKenzie, Morgan Alexandria McKenzie, and Madison Nicole McKenzie and a young prince, Bobby “Trey” Douglas McKenzie III. The favor of the Lord is truly being demonstrated in their lives.

Reverend McKenzie is renowned for his radical, unconventional, often

times comical, cutting-edge, tell it like it is approach to delivering the word of God. This distinct quality of his ministry is affectionately termed the “laser”, in that out of his mouth flows both, the power to “cut and cure” simultaneously. He is bold, confident, kind and caring. But more importantly, as he ministers men are empowered, women are loosed from the hurts of the past and the hearts of young people are understood.

He was a featured lecturer at the prestigious Hampton University, Hampton Minister’s Conference. He was appointed by the University to be the Conference Historian, becoming the first Methodist to serve as an officer in the organization's history. In addition, one of his sermons is published in the book of "Outstanding Black Sermons Volume 4" Judson Press, and a contributing author in "Doing Church Vol.2" New Seasons Press. He has served as a Fellow to Study the Presidency of the United States, a North Carolina Legislative Intern, North Carolina Institute of Political Leadership Fellow, Clerk for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, Lt.

He served on his denomination’s Connectional Budget Board, Overseas Missions Board and co-authored Christians Under Construction. Bishop Proctor has held three pastorates: St. James A.M.E. Zion Church in Massillon, Ohio, where he led the congregation in the building of a new church and purchased a parsonage. His second pastorate was the St. Luke A.M.E.

His last pastorate was the historic Pennsylvania Avenue A.M.E. Zion Church in Baltimore, Maryland.
